Oregon and Washington BS thread

you should come do the hangover scramble

 

if it snows a bit, I'm headed for mcgowan creek road or shotgun. Tare it all up before all the holligans get a chance to lol

 

Where is it?? and when?? i may very possibly be down

 

Im anxious to get some snow. First winter with 4wd!

 

washougal. january 1st, i think the first race is at 8am.

 

oh snap no can do broski - i'll be at the big Mud Run in st helens with IPreferToDrinkPiss (I mean Cody Bennet)

 

bitches lol.


the hangover is amazing. usually frozen over so need to do studs, then it melts and slick as hell. And, top it off everyone is hungover from partying in camp the night before and throw up all over as their racing.

 

way to draw me putting studs in my tires and throwing up on my bike....

 

its a great time. lol

Im still debating..havent registered yet. Their damn prices this year suck Theirs a $10 manditory gate fee, $35 i think per race but with a 50% off other races you enter, and the camp fee. I may.....still ponder it lol. I may change my mind after i put 300 studs in haha

 

come hang out with us at the mud run, i'll have a BBQ at my place after, i like like 5 min away.

 

Goddamn.. That's about 8 Hrs.

Bending up the kickout tomorrow, and getting frame plates broken.

 

Nice work Jake!!!

 

I was going to ask if something was missing...

BTW, may have a friend with an XJ (jeep) interested in some. He would probably be willing to drive up that way for measure and fab. If you are interested in something like that, I'll talk to him when I get back to WA.

 

Looks AWESOME Jake

 

Thanks! That Patagonia jacket I scored at Second Ascent is awesome! Pretty funny, the sales girl thought she had me sold on a $350 Arc Teryx' Shell.. Should have seen her look when I asked where the used section was!

Yup.. Going to get that tube bent up tomorrow. Trying to come up with a kickout that isn't too much, yet will still be functional. That's the way Kolt would like them.

I'll have to do a little research - shouldn't be too hard, but I'd definitely be interested! PM me if you'd like my contact info.

Thanks! I bet yours look pretty good, too.

 

Arc Teryx' makes great stuff. My mountain climbing coat is one and I love it. But I wouldn't have bought it unless I got a pro deal at $250. $500 is a little steep but they are worth it in my opinion. Great coats

 

My Columbia coat is a POS. It's a total sponge if it gets near anything damp, there's nothing elastic or draw-tight at the bottom so you get freezing updrafts, and it's kinda bulky.
I'm a cold weather clothing noob so I'm hesitant to buy more crap.

 

If you are looking at Columbia products you need to look at Mountain Hardware and nothing else. That's all I wear these days. It does help to have unlimited access to the employee store though

 

I've got a Mountain Hardware shell in my quiver, and a 3 season tent. Awesome stuff.

If you're on a budget, check out the Weather Boss line by Grundens. Awesome stuff, and a huge value. Their Weather Boss bibs are kick-ass for the cold. Heavyweight Cordura usually not found in gear that costs $100! Waterproof zippers, which is usually only on high-end shells.

Epic Fail

Jake, what would you charge me for a set of sliders, like what you are fabbing for Kolt? More importantly, would it be worth it to you to make sliders for me? Later on, I may come visit you at your shop in B-ham to make a custom front bumper out of some steel I am trying to get from work (4"x8"x8', 5/16" sidewall).
